10°

Fire and Shock Precautions

•

Ensure that there is sufﬁcient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside

your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.

Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the right front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while

the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.

•

Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector.Do not attempt to retrieve

any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into

your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed

by a qualiﬁed service personnel.

•

Do not place any objects on top of the projector.

Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or ﬁre.

The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz (NP64/NP43) or 200-240V AC

50/60 Hz (NP63G/NP54G/NP43G). Ensure that your power supply ﬁts this requirement before attempting to use

your projector.

•

Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the

lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause

unpredictable outcome such as ﬁre or injury to the eyes.

Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent.

Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the

exhaust.

•

Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or ﬁre.

Do not use any power cables than the supplied one.

Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.

Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.

Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.

Do not heat the power cable.

Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

Important Information

• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by a qualiﬁed service personnel under

the following conditions:

When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.

If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.

If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual.

If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

•

Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of

time.

CAUTION

• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or

hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.

• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the

soft case could be damaged.

• Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select

[SETUP] → [OPTIONS(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [HIGH].)

• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blink-

ing green.

Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

• Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the AC power supply is disconnected either during normal

projector operation or during cooling fan operation. (The cooling fans start working after the power is turned off

with the POWER button on the projector cabinet or on the remote control.)

Use caution when picking up the projector.

Remote Control Precautions

•

Handle the remote control carefully.

If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

Important Information

Lamp Replacement

•

To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 79.

Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE.

PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end

of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch

them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.

A Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on

and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.

CAUTION:

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off,

wait for the cooling fans to stop and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool

before handling.

• When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass

fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

Note for US Residents

The lamp in this product contains mercury. Please dispose according to Local, State or Fed-

eral Laws.

2. Installation and Connections

Reﬂecting the Image

WARNING

Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image en-

ables you to enjoy a much larger image when a small-

er space is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you

need a mirror system. If you’re using a mirror system

and your image is inverted, use the MENU and ▲, ▼,

◀, ▶ buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote

control to correct the orientation. (→ page 68)

* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done

by a qualiﬁed technician. Contact your NEC dealer

for more information.

* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If

the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured

and the projector severely damaged.

• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary

greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures

between 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C). ([ECO] mode

selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°C.

Note that [ECO] mode will be selected automatically

at 86°F to 104°F/30°C to 40°C when used in [HIGH

ALTITUDE].)

• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or

smoke. This will harm the screen image.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around

your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover

the vents on the side or the front of the projector.

2. Installation and Connections

➋

Making Connections

ConnectingYour PC or Macintosh Computer

NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and

before turning on the power to the notebook PC.

In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.

* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power man-

agement software.

Enabling the computer’s external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.

When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.

Usually, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come

on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle

through external display selections.

NOTE:

• Before connecting an audio cable to the headphone jack of a computer, adjust the computer’s volume level to low. After con-

necting the projector to the computer, adjust the volume of both projector and computer to suitable level as desired to avoid

damage to your ear.

• If an audio output jack of your computer is a mini jack type, connect the audio cable to it.

• An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan

converter.

This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the fol-

lowing.

- When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:

Project an image to ﬁll the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

4. Convenient Features

Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]

This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO₂emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO

MODE] is set to [ON]. This feature is called [CARBON METER].

There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CAR-

BON SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO₂emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now.

You can check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 75)

The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO₂emission reduction between the time

of changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON

SAVINGS-SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE?] message at the time of

power-off.

TIP:

• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO₂emission reduction.

Amount of CO₂emission reduction = Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE – Power consumption in ON for ECO MODE x

CO₂conversion factor.*

* Calculation for amount of CO₂emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion,

2008 Edition”.

• The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.

• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

• When you turn on the power.

• When you change the zoom.

• When you reposition the projector.

• When you change the projection angle.

Selecting Fan Mode [FAN MODE]

This option allows you to select three modes for fan speed: Auto mode, High speed mode, and High Altitude

mode.

AUTO�� The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according to the internal temperature�

HIGH�� The built-in fans run at high speed�

HIGH ALTITUDE �� The built-in fans run at a high speed� Select this option when using the projector at altitudes approxi-

mately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher�

When you wish to cool down the temperature inside the projector quickly, select [HIGH].

NOTE:

• It is recommended that you select High speed mode if you use the projector non-stop for consecutive days.

• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher.

• Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause

the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.

• Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the

lamp to overcool, causing the image to ﬂicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].

• Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical components

such as the lamp.

• Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu.

Selecting [COLOR SYSTEM]

This feature enables you to select video standards manually.

Normally select [AUTO]. Select the video standard from the pulldown menu. This must be done for VIDEO and S-

VIDEO Connectors separately.

7. Maintenance

➌

Replacing the Lamp and the Cooling Pump

When the lamp reaches the end of its life, the LAMP indicator in the cabinet will blink red. Even though the lamp

may still be working, replace the lamp to maintain the optimal projector performance. After replacing the lamp, be

sure to clear the lamp hour meter. (→ page 77)

CAUTION

•

The optional lamp comes with the cooling pump.

After replacing the lamp, be sure to replace the cooling pump, too.

DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off,

wait for the cooling fans to stop and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to

cool before handling.

•

DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except one lamp cover screw and two lamp housing screws. You could re-

ceive an electric shock.

Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.

Keep ﬁnger prints off the glass surface on the lamp housing. Leaving ﬁnger prints in the glass surface might

cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.

•

The projector will turn off and go into standby mode when you continue to use the projector for another 100

hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you con-

tinue to use the lamp after the lamp reaches the end of its life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass

may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens,

contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.

To replace the lamp:

Optional lamp, cooling pump and tools needed for replacement:

•

Replacement lamp with cooling pump: NP09LP (NP64/NP63) or NP08LP (NP54/NP43)

Phillips screwdriver or equivalent

1. Place the projector on a soft cloth and turn it over to access the lamp cover on the bottom.

Fig. C

Note: Removing or Inserting the Lamp (Sticking of Packing Ring)

After lamp replacement, a black packing ring may be stuck inside the projector (Fig. A and Fig. B).

If this happens, do the following:

•

If the used packing ring does not remain inside the projector (Fig. C), proceed with the new lamp housing in-

stallation.

If the used packing ring is stuck inside the projector (Fig. B), remove it from inside the projector before install-

ing the new lamp housing. To remove the packing ring, simply pull it off of the stud.

In other cases where the lamp is removed (other than lamp replacement), pulling out the lamp housing may

also cause the packing ring to stay stuck inside the projector. If this happens, make sure to insert the lamp

housing back in its original position.

CAUTION

•

Before removing the used packing ring, be sure to turn off the projector, wait for the cooling fan to stop, dis-

connect the power cable, and allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool.

The projector can become very hot when it is turned on and stay hot immediately after it is turned off.

Do not install a new lamp with the used packing ring stuck inside the projector as it requires excessive

force to install the new lamp which then may cause damage to the projector.

7. Maintenance

4. Push the part as shown on the drawing and insert a new lamp housing until it is plugged into the socket.

CAUTION

Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp NP09LP (NP64/NP63) or NP08LP (NP54/NP43).

Order this from your NEC dealer.

Secure it in place with the two screws.

NOTE: Tighten the two screws alternately until both screws are completely tightened. Failure to do this can result in air leak

from the cooling pump, causing the pump error. (→ page 83)

5. Reattach the lamp cover.
